Hi John,

Thanks for the reply: This is one of the boneheadednesses of which I spoke in the original post. Ah, stupidity knows no bounds! In this case, there will only ever be a maximum of 6 elements in the array:

1. The ranking of the hand (1 element)
2. A maximum of five 'kicker' card values/pair values etc...

NB - It is important that, in the case that fewer kickers/values being required, the others are set to zero or anulled. I guess that the array slice assignation is probably best. Ta.

I'd already thought of combining all the players into an array (as this would definitely be a good way ultimately to cut down on code-length) but I'd not got around to incorporating it into the code yet as I'm trying to teach myself C at the moment and I'm just about getting to grips with pointers.
